Yes i have andy.
Enabling lighting and shadow doesn't make my spotlight enable, but makes my logo become black image.

From my inspection, enabling lighting and shadows in monitor 1 (merge3d preview) will make black image.

Are you sure that you're not just lighting it from the back? You've no ambient light so you may just be seeing the silhouette. Try changing the Z translation of the light to a positive value.
